Privacy Policy:

At Celticmerchant, we are committed to protecting your privacy. We use the information we collect about you to process orders and to provide a more personalized shopping experience. Please read on for more details about our privacy policy.

What information do we collect? How do we use it?

Orders

When you place an order, we need to know your name, email address, phone number, shipping address, credit card number, expiration date and the items you wish. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status.

Subscribing to our Email Newsletters

When you subscribe to a newsletter, we may ask for your name and email address so we can send you the latest news and specials at Celticmerchant. If we ask for any other information, you can volunteer to provide it if you wish - but it is not required.

Surveys
When you respond to a survey, we may ask for your name, email address, and other specific information so we can administer and tally the survey results. Surveys are done only to help us provide better services and products.

Contests

When you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address, and email address so we can administer the contest and notify winners.

Site Traffic

We monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to help us improve the design and layout of the Celticmerchant Web site. This includes your IP address, time and date of your visit, and which pages you visit. Celticmerchant cannot tell exactly who you are, but only, for example, that you were a visitor from xyz.com, you visited the site on July 22, 2001 and you visited page1.html, page3.html, and page6.html while you were here.

We may also use the information you submit to us to occasionally notify you about important changes to the Web site, new Celticmerchant services, and special offers we think you'll find valuable. If you would rather not receive this information, visit the Celticmerchant Policies page to unsubscribe to the newsletter or "opt-out" of future communications.

How does Celticmerchant protect customer information?

When you place an order, we offer the use of a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Furthermore, all of the customer data we collect is protected against unauthorized access.

"Opting In" and "Opting Out" of Mailings

Celticmerchant believes in sending only email notifications to those visitors who choose to receive periodic notices about new products, special sales, and interesting news. For that reason, we allow you to choose whether you want to be on our email list. Throughout the site and on our order form, we provide an area where you can add your email address to the mailing list (opting in) or remove it if you decide not to receive them anymore (opting out).

What about "cookies"?

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Celticmerchant may set and access cookies on your computer if you voluntarily register on our site or if you have registered with Yahoo! (since Celticmerchant's underlying shopping cart technology is provided by Yahoo! Stores).

Will Celticmerchant disclose the information it collects to outside parties?

Celticmerchant does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. If we ever do decide to in the future, we will give you the option of "opting out" before we do so. Celticmerchant may however, provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personal information.

In summary

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We use the information we collect on the site to make shopping at Celticmerchant possible and to enhance your overall shopping experience. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We may choose to do so in the future with trustworthy third parties, but you can tell us not to before we do so. If you never want to receive any announcements or special offers from us, visit the Celticmerchant Policies page to change your preferences. Remember to change your preferences for each of the e-mail accounts you have given us.

Your consent
By using our Web site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by Celticmerchant. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
